Additional quotes by John Keats

O, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither'd from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: — Do I wake or sleep?

Yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits.

I have a habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am now leading a posthumous existence. - John Keats
